Dearest Wilmer and Randy,
I was very saddened when I read of Margaret's passing. So many memories of life on Hamilton Avenue many years ago. She was a very dear person to my Mother and Dad. I think of each of you so often and know Margaret will be greatly missed by those that knew and loved her. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you and the family. Much Love, Betsy (Staley) Cooper

"Uncle" Wilmer and Randy,
I am so sorry about hearing of "Aunt" Margaret's passing. Margaret called me to let me know. She was a wonderful person, and her loss to the extended family of Gibby, Margaret and me is extremely great. I'll never forget the evenings that our families spent together either in Hopewell or at your homes in Colonial Heights or at the cottage at Scotland Wharf.
We will also never forget the great kindess you showed to our entire family.
You are constantly in our prayers.

I am so saddened to hear of Margaret's passing. She was a dear friend to my mother, Nancy Laine. Jeanne and Margaret would come out and visit her and they always laughed and had such a great time. I know she will be greatly missed - she was a truly wonderful lady! God bless each of you.
